Congrats on the solar panels! I'd definitely be interested to hear how it affects charging costs — I'd been hearing for a long time how charging an EV was so much more cost-effective than buying gas, but I think that was deliberately slanted (by Tesla, most likely) to compare to the least fuel-efficient ICE cars possible. I routinely got over 40mpg in my Honda, and that wasn't even a plug-in hybrid.
